Two Cambridge students hitchhike to India in 1962. Andrew writes a diary. They visit Yugoslavia, Greece and Turkey. In Iran John faces a mob after the CIA coup. In Amritsar there is anger over the partition. In Delhi they have tea with Indira Gandhi. John now returns to India, Yugoslavia with its refugee crisis and Greece in economic collapse.

John Waller was born in Hythe, Kent in 1940 and was evacuated. After Cambridge University, he trained as an engineer at IBM and set up and ran a successful computer company in 1969. In 1970, he and his Danish wife built a minute house in Corfu, where he has written his seven non-fiction books after his retirement in 1999. He was Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for Twickenham in 1979, 1983 and 1987.
